Tour de France organisers ASO have asked spectators to respect the riders by refraining from using smoke bombs and flares during the race. Despite repeated requests, the usage of these pyrotechnics has been a recurring issue, especially on climbs. Fans are also urged not to run alongside the riders for their safety.

"The B.A.A. does not implement security policies... Anything you attempt to bring into a secured area... is subject to the discretion of law enforcement officials."

Organizers of the women's tour issued a statement later saying Raducanu was approached Monday 'by a man who exhibited fixated behavior' in a public space.
